BANDED NORDIC CURLS

This is a hamstrings strengthening exercise. Loop a light strength band around your torso just under the chest and anchor the other end to an elevated surface. Start in a kneeling position with your ankles anchored against a stable object. Slowly lower your body to the ground by extending the knees but keeping a neutral spine and neutral hips. After reaching the floor you may use your hands to push the body back up to starting position and repeat as required.
